Best Permanence Poems

In everything we think we own
lies everything we stand to lose;
in every feeling we have known
lives every phrase we overuse.
Our cycles end, begin again
with boundaries we fail to set,
act not from love but with disdain,
say we forgive but can't forget.
We crave release but carry on
in...

My permanence is fluid,
elemental water.
The rock is solid
and appears infallible.
'Tis the stream that penetrates 
and wears away stone shapes
pulling with it mineral and time constraints....

I felt you, and perhaps
for the last time, my dear,
reeling from the collapse...
I knew there was a tear
and yes, I saw it fall.
Did you hear the break
of the heart you said felt all
(the same one you forsake)?
But you never did believe
I noticed anyway,
and wanted only...

Life trials by fire ~
fears funeral pyre,
wherein we thus burn,
ego in heart’s urn.

We never alight
from layered delight,
though entwined with pain;
free will boon, now bane.

Our soul’s stance is stooped,
since we’re by thoughts looped,
which we once let go,
joy begins to flow.

Choosing cessation,
bliss beats sensation,
pervades feeble form,
as magnetism...

with the threat of permanence comes dependence &
with dependence comes vulnerability &
with vulnerability comes sacrifice &
with sacrifice comes reducing one’s own life by half or more &
with the reduction comes a lack &
with the lack comes a void &
with the void comes the naïveté that...

Joy in permanence, our life’s goal
Invoking within, divine grace
Love drenched heart, then makes us feel whole

To see God here now, face to face
We must drop both desire and fear
Invoking within, divine grace

Moment to moment, year by year
Holding steady, thus our resolve
We must drop both desire...

Happiness,
a worthy life quest,
if it be
permanent,
igniting each node of form,
in boundless rapture.

Fears, desires,
endless thoughts spirals,
hypnotise
and bemuse,
holding us captive for life,
until we shake free.

What avail
is this fleeting joy,
when sorrow
soon follows,
teasing, taunting, torturing,
whilst we trauma bond?

In the void
of tranquil stillness,
magnetic
currents rise,
transmuting our consciousness,
as bliss throbs renew.

In being

This proposition we call life
is tenuous at best;
reach out, grab firm those things most dear
and jettison the rest.

For what will bring a man acclaim
and lift him to the heights?
The tease of accolades and fame’s
cruel escalating sights?

Or shall he build tall monuments
which edify his name?
The halls...

i thought sadness was just a feeling
'til you made it my addiction
i thought pain was just temporary
'til you tattooed it on my skin...

Sirene of life
We embrace the cry
Thus adieu with tears

Every newborn must cry
Every newborn must die
Every new time must fade

From the strings of minor
To the trumped of major
We adieu with tears

Sirene of death
Sings and slices fear
Thus divorce thy life...

It's dark in here; but I'll hang
I should feel fear; I'm too young to understand such a thing
Why do I miss your touch? I was a child; you were a teen—
Life found no victim, just an object.
Your reject taught me things from 3 till 9.
Never...

There is a permanence In every move you make,
The steps you take when walking the dog
Create the rhythm for a heart that beats 
Halfway around the world. 
You are the butterfly whose wings provide 
The current of air that someone is breathing.
Someone who has known...

Permanence`

Sometimes we grow close
oftimes we grow apart...but
live within the heart

Some parts of life are permanent,
alas, some aspects not:
The morning temperature feels chill;
by midday it grows hot.
The money spent on cell phones'
long-term value which I sought,
Too soon is gone, as more is spent
on upgrades I've since bought.
	
The sun in its celestial course
yields light, black night,...

Do we live too long for the moment,
for our visions that fleeting seem?
Do we deem what is passing substantial,
and what shall abide a mere dream?

Was love brought by a moment,
by a moment stolen away?
Did the fire that burned most fiercely
turn the soonest ashen-gray?...
